In court on Monday, Broussard apologized to the residents of Jefferson Parish.

"I take full responsibility for disgracing my office," he said. "I will pay for what I did for the rest of my life. ... I apologize to the people of Jefferson parish and for bringing dishonor to my office."

Wilkinson admitted to the wrongdoing in the case as well and said his actions were a weakness.

"I wasn't strong enough to say no to Mr. Broussard. I apologize to the people of Jefferson Parish," Wilkinson said.

Prosecutors asked Head to reduce his prison time for letting them avoid trial preparation by telling them early that he would plead guilty.

Broussard will have to forfeit $280,200 in cash and pay $214,000 in restitution.

Broussard sat calmly as his sentenced was handed down in federal court.

Judge Head recommended that Broussard serve his time at a prison near his home, and had no objection to Broussard's request to be sent to a prison in Pensacola, Fla.

The forfeiture includes $160,400 paid in salary and benefits to Parker, $53,800 in salary and benefits for Wilkinson, and $66,000 from Kenner businessman William Mack.
